Saturday morning saw the second free WebDD conference take place. Amongst the presentations, Mike Ormond and Alex Mackey spoke on things forthcoming in .NET 4.0, Sebastien Lambla spoke at a rate of knots about MVC best practices despite his computer blue-screening mid-presentation, and I introduced those interested to IIS 7.0 Extensions, the Lightweight Test Framework, the new ASP.NET Chart Control and the History State and Script Combining features of the ScriptManager. The code and slides for this presentation can be found here and via the downloads page.
Thanks to Dave and to Phil for setting up WebDD, the speakers, attendees and MS event staff for giving up their Saturday to make this a great event and finally to Janey for coming to support me while I tried not to um or ah too much through my first presentation. If you’ve any feedback for me on how I went, let me know or twitter it using the #webdd tag.

Woot! I’ve been invited to give my first full presentation at WebDD ’09 on April 18. I’ll be giving the talk “ASP.NET 3.5 – Miss Something?” in which I’ll look at the out of band ASP.NET-related releases that Microsoft have made since they first dropped ASP.NET 3.5. Charts, Browser History plug-ins, IIS plug-ins, Service Pack 1 and more.
Can’t wait for the event. Hopefully I’m not speaking at the same time as Barry. I’d really like to see his talk.

As Dave announced last week, a second web-only DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper day will take place at Microsoft UK in Reading on April 18 to coincide with this year's MIX event in Las Vegas. Sessions are now being proposed and I have submitted a couple for your consideration.
MVC102
There are lots of podcasts and videos online these days that introduce how the M, V and C fit together in the MVC framework. Beyond this, and the fact that it makes use of the ASP.NET core framework, there's not much more out there. In this presentation we take a look at MVC one level down, covering such topics as model data binders, validation, action attributes, error handling and more.
ASP.NET 3.5 - Miss Something?
It would be very easy to remember the period between the release of ASP.NET 3.5 and 4.0 as the time when ASP.NET MVC was made. But it’s worth remembering that ASP.NET 3.5 service pack 1 and several out of band releases for ASP.NET and IIS came out as well. This presentation will cover as many of the other additions to web development as can be fit into an hour.
There are - naturally - many other proposed sessions for WebDD09 but only your votes will determine the ones presented. And if you don't see anything you like, you can also fill out a form to request a topic for someone to present on.
